Determination of CD117 Expression in Glial Tumors and Its Comparison between High Grade and Low Grade Tumors
Background and Objective: Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors. Despite therapeutic advances, the majority of gliomas do not respond to either chemo or radiotherapy. CD117, the gene product of c-kit has been expressed in cells of glial tumors. Because gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that express CD117 respond dramatically to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, ide...
متن کاملEstrogen Receptor Expression in Glial Tumors of Iranian Patients: A Single Center Experience
Background & Objective: Gliomas are the most common type of primary intracranial tumors in adults. The expression of estrogen receptors varies in different grades of glial tumors, and some studies have suggested that this expression might have a prognostic value. It seems that estrogen receptor expression negatively correlates with the histological grade of gliomas. In the pres...
متن کاملRegulation of fibroblast hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor expression by human breast carcinoma cell lines and peptide growth factors.
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a stromally derived modulator of epithelial cell proliferation and morphology. To better assess the potential role of HGF/SF in tumor progression we sought to identify factors and biological conditions which regulate its expression. We show that several adult human primary fibroblast cultures from breast and prostate produce HGF/SF. HGF expres...

متن کاملMet and hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor expression in human gliomas.
Using double immunofluorescence staining and quantitative confocal laser scan microscopy, we show that the intensity of hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) and Met staining in human primary brain tumors increases with the grade of malignancy and is prevalent in both the infiltrating tumor cells and endothelial hyperplastic areas. HGF/SF and Met also are expressed in vitro in gliobl...
